Go and read your first post again. If u see s+u+p+p+o+r+t there it means someone else wrote your SSCE English for u. Mind u I am for Buhari but I think he goofed on this issue. Even if he had done it for say two months and then come up with this argument he might get a support. Honesty is the best policy.

Those promises were made at $100 dollar oil. Not realistic at $30 dollar oil. Leadership must evaluate its decisions at every moments.
Kudos PMB. Yes it is a failed promise. But it is better to make d right decision even though it may lead to failed promises. Even though oil price have started falling during the election, it was still above $60 then which is twice what it is today.

This post is not to defend PMB. This post is to support him for making the right decision. I never agree to the 5000 naira stipend to unemployed graduate. It would have be a waste. But 5000 naira for the most vunerable 1million nigerians (Mostly widows and physically challenge) is welcome if we can fund it. 5k to unemployed graduate is a no no no.

PMB did not deny the promise was made despite the fact that he never personally made d promise. He is only saying on his scale of preference, that is not among top priority. PMB is a firm and sincere leader. He speak his mind straight up. No president in the world including United State of America, have ever succeeded in fulfilling all campaign promises.

At every point in time, a leader must evaluate what he consider most important to d nation and make a bold decision. Leadership is dynamic. It is better to be criticise for not achieving a campaign promise than implementing a promise that is unrealistic just to save face. Even if it means losing the next election,or losing popularity, a leader must put the country first.

The funny thing is dat those wailers who never supported the idea, who said it will promote laziness, will still be the one to condemn and criticise him for not prioritising it instead of commending him for doing d needful.

I am living in governance mode. I dont care about what campaign promise were. I only care about good governance. Any campaign promise that is not realistic today can go to hell. For those who cares so much about campaign promises, you can use ur PVC in 2019 and vote what u want.For those who claim Buhari won the election because of 5000 naira stipend for unemployed are not saying the truth. More than 99% of people who voted for Buhari voted for him because he was seen as much better to fight corruption and boko haram. Not because he promised 5000 naira. I am not even sure he got 100 votes because of the 5000 naira stipend promise.

For that primary reason of fighting corruption and Boko haram, he may not have done it perfectly, but he is clearly better than GEJ. And he was voted because he was considered better in fighting it than GEJ and not because he will be able to fight it perfectly. That is progress, Reduction of negative is positive. For that, he has fulfilled his top two campaign promises.

The greatest irony is that, majority of those who voted Buhari are okay with his decision. Majority of us who voted him dont feel deceived or betrayed. Majority of us who voted Buhari fully support him on this especially with global economy and oil price. Why are those who never voted him complaining of being Scammed? Wailers you were not Scammed because you never voted for his campaign promises! So shut your mouth!

Leadership is about optimising available resources for the best of the country. Not wasting it on project in order to look good and save face

I promise to buy you food and then I later tell you "sorry, I wouldnt be able to do that anymore for certain reasons"; how on earth is that a lie?... You need that dictionary more than anyone else.

Meanwhile, the man still has 3 years to find chibok girls and efforts are currently ongoing in that regard, so I still dont understand what you mean by lie here, except of course you need that dictionary more than everyone else.

Do you know what a promise means? Check your dictionary again. A promise is not meant to be broken because it is a commitment. Just as a man promises to be faithful to his wife during marriage. If he commits adultry, then the man is useless.

Same with our president...He made promises even when he was warned against it by Nigerians but he insisted. He is a liar and nothing more.

With regards to the Chibok girls Obasanjo said they will never be found and the president promised to rescue them two months after taking over power.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Hmmmm
APC supporters....
when Buhari made d promise, they supported it.
Now that he has reneged on it, they support it
If he tomorrow reintroduces it, they will support it.
Even if Buhari turns around and says unemployed youths shld pay #5,000 monthly to govt, they will support it.
To them Buhari is always right. he must not be criticized

obailala:
There is a freaking difference between a broken/unfulfilled promise and a lie. Stop thinking with your emotions, I'm sure you should know the difference.

OBj thinks chibok girls cannot be rescued, how does that translate to PMB lying that he would rescue chibok girls?

Thirdly, PMB did not mention 2 months, only certain idiots reported this; just the same way some idiots reported that PMB stated he would eliminate bokoharam in 3 months even though the video recording of the cnn interview was still up on the cnn website. Once again, try to reason with your brain not your heart.

kenny987:


Was it by force to make promises? Nigerians have been lied to one time too many by these set of people called politicians. He held himself out as different and saintly among all others. He should dare to live up to his promises and keep his word!

My people I have said it, I have told Kyase and all APC dogs here that APC. Life span is just 4 years.

Freegift75:
Nigerian youth are lazy... Many repose their destinies on Buhari's N5000 stipend. How will N5000 sustain a person in a month? Instead to clamour for employment, they await the fulfilment of the stipend promised by the FG.

You better go to street like Olajumoke, because someone may discover from there. That's answered call.

Nice decision by Mr Buhari
